Yes, shutters can help insulate windows. Different shutters provide different levels of insulation. With the normal United States homeowner paying $661 annually on heating costs, it’s not a shock households are looking for ways to cut home heating and cooling costs.
You might first picture appliances that conserve energy, like ENERGY STAR® heating and cooling equipment. Or possibly even light bulbs, which can produce large energy savings for your most-used light fixtures.
One of the top energy leaks in your residence might surprise you. Your windows can leak up to 30 percent of your house’s heated and cooled air, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
That’s where our energy-conserving window treatments can help, giving superior light management while helping keep your Charlotte residence warmer in the winter and more refreshing in the summer.
